205: Chapter 205 Flying Clan Territory
"Is this guy... even human?"
"He's fiercer than us, not even on the same level."
"Anyone who can fight, get up there and save some face!"
...Word spread like wildfire, and more and more Orcs came to watch.
Unfortunately, the outcome was always the same: Mu Cheng knocked them all to the ground.
"Anyone else? If not, I'm leaving." Mu Cheng asked with a hint of arrogance.
"Of course there is. Let me have a go at you."
Just as Mu was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
It was none other than Rudes.
However, Mu Cheng wasn't showing his true face right now, so Rudes couldn't recognize him...
"Luckily, we ran into this guy." Mu Cheng finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
"It's Rudes. Looks like our luck is holding." The Little Demon Fox Emperor recognized him at a glance.
Little Demon suddenly remembered. "This guy is really strong. I wonder if Master can handle him."
Of course, that battle was on Blue-White Star. Times are different now; this is the fourth layer of the Battlefield.
Naturally, Rudes was at least ten times stronger than before.
"That's not necessarily true. This guy always manages to surprise people." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't think so.
He had witnessed Mu Cheng's growth along the way, from not having broken through the Shackles realm at the start to reaching the third Shackle today.
All in less than a month or two...
"True, Master is no longer the Master he used to be." Little Demon thought about it and found it quite reasonable.
On the other side, Mu Cheng, of course, knew this wasn't Blue-White Star... so he became extremely cautious.
"What's wrong, kid? Weren't you all tough just now? Why are you turtling up? Could it be you're scared?" Don't let Rudes' seemingly dull appearance fool you.
In reality, he was very shrewd, knowing Mu Cheng was anything but simple. Otherwise, how could he have knocked down so many?
"Bring it on then, but you'd better be careful."
When it came to physical strength, Mu Cheng had never been afraid of anyone.
Gripping the black gold heavy sword tightly, he smashed it towards Rudes. However, this strike was blocked by the latter's large club.
It was effortlessly done.
"So strong. Looks like I can't hold back anymore." Mu Cheng suddenly erupted with fighting spirit and smashed towards Rudes once again.
"You really are something, kid. But that's all there is to it!" Rudes remained as he was.
Although he blocked the attack, it wasn't that simple; he was forced back a good ten meters or so.
"This human is so strong. Who is he? He actually forced the Great General back."
"He's definitely not simple. This guy absolutely has a big background."
"It's a tense time for the alliance. The Great General must be going easy on him. Otherwise, how would this kid have a chance?"
...The Orcs began to buzz with discussion.
"Interesting. Just what I needed to stretch my muscles. I'll play with you properly today."
Rudes also stopped holding back and started getting serious...
"This guy... we probably won't settle this quickly. Looks like this is the only way."
Mu Cheng's inner Oscar-winning drama queen came out. He pretended to fall to the ground, wailing and crying as if Rudes had barely touched him.
"I've suffered serious internal injuries, I can't get up... you win this time, I guess!"
"This... what's going on? Seems like the atmosphere suddenly changed."
"Good grief, is this the legendary drama queen?"
"Could it be any faker? I won't say it."
...The crowd of Orcs instantly erupted.
"This is so embarrassing. After we leave, don't ever tell anyone you know him." Even the Little Demon Fox Emperor was utterly speechless.
Little Demon: "Probably because they couldn't decide the winner quickly, so Master did this!"
"Huh? What are you trying to do now, kid?" Rudes was completely baffled this time, but he still managed to guess the intention.
"Everyone, disperse!"
With his command... who dared to object? In no time, they all vanished, each returning to their own homes.
"Stop pretending. A human who can come here wouldn't be so simple." Rudes got straight to the point.
Mu Cheng didn't want to reveal his identity at this moment. "Simple... we just want to see the Great Priest."
"Mhm, just say it's the Super Ability Academy." It was the Little Demon Fox Emperor. She saw no need to hide and walked over.
Little Demon followed closely behind...
"So it's Xiao Jiu from the Super Ability Academy. And you're that tree demon? Could it be you're that kid?" Rudes recognized them at a glance and instantly guessed the general situation.
Mu Cheng no longer concealed it. "It's me. No choice, my other identity is special, so I had to come this way."
"You're Ling, right? Whatever, no point overthinking. How about we spar?" Rudes suddenly became very interested.
Having never tasted defeat before, being beaten by Mu Cheng left anyone feeling uncomfortable.
"You want to fight? What's it to you how I am?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't want to waste time and shot a cold glare his way.
Rudes instantly backed down. "Forget it, official business is more important. I'll take you to see the Great Priest."
With him leading the way, the three passed through the Orc Race tribe very smoothly.
However, they couldn't ultimately escape... being watched by countless eyes.
The Great Sorcerer's Palace of the Orc Race.
"Great Sorcerer, Xiao Jiu from the Super Ability Academy has come to visit." An Orc of Great General level suddenly rushed in to report.
The Great Sorcerer referred to wore a white robe and looked very much like a human.
"At this critical juncture, the Super Ability Academy must be here for the rubiks cube key. Keep a close eye on them." The Great Sorcerer said without mincing words.
The Great Evil Master's Palace of the Orc Race.
"This matter is probably not so simple. They're likely here to help the Elf Race seek reinforcements. Monitor their every move closely."
The fat Great Evil Master thought for a moment and finally decided to say, "If necessary, we can use *it*, at any cost."
Meanwhile, under Rudes' guidance, they soon arrived before a dilapidated thatched hut.
"Great Priest, Xiao Jiu from the Super Ability Academy requests an audience." Rudes bowed to the hut and reported.
"You may go attend to your duties." A voice came from within.
A gaunt, emaciated Orc emerged slowly from the thatched hut, using a piece of dead wood as a cane.
Rudes didn't linger and soon left, disappearing from sight.
"Since you've come, I'll perform a divination for this young man first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wound appeared on Mu Cheng's hand, and a drop of blood fell onto a skull.
As the Great Priest raised the dead wood in his hand, a large amount of green flame continuously poured into the skull, never stopping.
"Is he performing a divination?" Mu Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Mhm, this Great Priest is no simple figure. His strength is the strongest among the Four Great Ancient Races, a genuine God of Destruction level powerhouse."
"His divination skills are second to none; if he claims second place, no one dares claim first." Little Demon added.
Soon, the skull cracked, shattering into pieces.
"An unknown future. Indeed, what is destined to come will come." The Great Priest offered no further explanation.
He immediately got straight to the point. "You've come for the rubiks cube key, haven't you? It's yours now. As for sending troops to aid the Elf Race, this old man is powerless."
With a wave of the dead wood, the rubiks cube key was already floating before Mu Cheng.
"Senior, wait. Our Super Ability Academy comes with sincerity." The Little Demon Fox Emperor hurriedly called out to stop him.
The Great Priest turned around and casually moved the dead wood, instantly forming an energy barrier around them.
"Speak then. What exactly is this sincerity?"
"This is something I believe Senior will definitely be interested in." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't hesitate and directly took out the Strange Force Iron.
"That old man (the Academy Head) really went all out. Sending troops to aid the Elf Race, I agree. Also, I will make a trip to the Abyssal Rift."
The Great Priest readily agreed. With a wave of the dead wood... the Strange Force Iron instantly disappeared.
"Just what is the Academy Head planning?" The Little Demon Fox Emperor was completely baffled this time.
However, she didn't ask further and bid farewell. "Senior, we'll meet again someday."
"Very well, very well. Let me send you on your way." The Great Priest waved the dead wood again, and instantly the three of them vanished.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived on a mountain peak. Before them floated chaotic rocks suspended in mid-air.
Densely packed... below was a bottomless abyss.
"Where is this?" Mu Cheng asked, quite puzzled.
Little Demon: "This is the territory of the three Eagle races."
"No time to waste. To reach the Blood Race territory, we must pass through here." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't hesitate at all.
Equipping the qianji set on her back, she shot straight into the sky... Little Demon and Mu Cheng quickly followed.
The Great Evil Master's Palace of the Orc Race.
"Great Evil Master, the Great Priest has agreed to send troops." A human man wearing a black veil reported.
The Great Evil Master instantly became interested. "Tell me, what did you see?"
Black Veil Man: "The distance was too great, and the Great Priest obscured his aura. This subordinate saw Xiao Jiu from the Super Ability Academy take out a piece of scrap iron."
"Afterwards, for some unknown reason, the Great Priest agreed very readily."
"A piece of scrap iron? That's not so simple... I'm going out!"
Not long after, the Great Evil Master arrived at the Great Sorcerer's Palace.
"Third Brother, you're still so leisurely."
"What wind blows Second Brother here?" The Great Sorcerer was quite surprised, even a bit shocked.
The Great Evil Master also got straight to the point. "Eldest Brother has agreed to send troops. The reason is that the Super Ability Academy offered a piece of scrap iron."
"If I guess correctly, it should be the Strange Force Iron. The humans really went all out." The Great Sorcerer said after some thought.
Other than that, he really couldn't think of a second reason.
Hearing this, the Great Evil Master was puzzled. "Third Brother, what exactly is this Strange Force Iron?"
"Let me put it this way, Second Brother. The value of this Strange Force Iron is definitely equivalent to a hundred divine artifacts." The Great Sorcerer had to give an analogy.
But then he suddenly realized. "Wait... if that's the case, then that woman coming from the Elf Race probably also has the source of ten thousand bloods that the Blood Race needs and the Sky Heart of the Angel Race with her."
"What? Third Brother, are you sure? They really have these things on them? Worth a hundred divine artifacts?" The Great Evil Master instantly lost his composure.
Looking across the entire Orc Race, the number of divine artifacts didn't exceed twenty. Now they're saying one item is worth over a hundred?
Great Sorcerer: "Mhm. Spread the information. Then we can send people to reap the benefits."
"Sounds good. Let's do this together this time!"
The Great Evil Master and the Great Sorcerer were instantly in agreement.
Meanwhile...
"Why does it feel like we'll never reach the end?" Mu Cheng finally couldn't help but ask.
Damn it, several hours had passed, and all they saw were these floating chaotic rocks, and more floating chaotic rocks.
Little Demon: "Of course. Master, you can check the map. It's not just any ordinary distance."
"You... ah, forget it, can't be bothered with you." The Little Demon Fox Emperor was utterly speechless.
Mu Cheng checked the map page. Indeed, the location... was extremely far.
A full three days and three nights passed. They finally encountered living beings—a dozen or so Flying Eagle Race members.
Each wore brown armor, and their flight formation was relatively uniform, clearly showing disciplined training.
Soon, the three were surrounded and blocked. The leading squad leader immediately issued threats.
"Halt! Ahead is the territory of our Flying Eagle Race. Humans, get the hell out of here. As for these two little girls, they can stay and play with us!"
"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly. Could you repeat that?"
Mu Cheng had no patience for this. He went up and punched the squad leader, sending him flying a full hundred meters, crashing hard into the floating rocks.
Little Demon: "Master... can you be a bit more low-key in the future?"
"Enough, enough. It's just the Flying Eagle Race. If you hit them, you hit them... no need to waste time with them." The Little Demon Fox Emperor didn't seem to care.
They weren't being polite to begin with. Trying to be friendly with them definitely wouldn't yield good results either.
Might as well just finish it directly...
"Fine. You can all die now." Little Demon merely gave a light wave of her hand.
Instantly, dense, countless Black Vines sprouted wildly from the floating rocks...
Instantly wiping out the entire Flying Eagle squad.
"Was that too harsh? One's left. Should we finish him?" Little Demon asked slowly.
Mu Cheng: "No need."
"Remember, don't ever provoke us, or else... you'll definitely regret it." The Little Demon Fox Emperor issued a domineering warning.
The remaining Flying Eagle Race soldier was scared out of his wits and instantly vanished without a trace.
"Looks like there might be some trouble ahead. But if they dare provoke us, we'll definitely make them regret it." Little Demon also issued a threat.
Mu Cheng: "Um... no need to be so serious, right? Makes us seem like the bad guys."
"Enough, let's hurry and continue on our way!" In the blink of an eye, the Little Demon Fox Emperor had already flown off, disappearing from sight.
Little Demon and Mu Cheng quickly followed.
Flying Eagle Race Camp.
"General... disaster! Three people have broken into our territory. They injured me, and all my other brothers were killed." The squad leader immediately reported.
As he was now... he didn't take the Little Demon Fox Emperor's words to heart. Otherwise, why would he report the situation like this?
"What? Only three opponents? Are you sure?" Fortunately, the General was a sensible man.
Three people capable of wiping out an entire squad... how weak could they possibly be?
"Tell me everything clearly, every detail. Miss one, and you can pack up and go back to the city!" the Great General threatened.
The squad leader was clearly frightened and stammered, "There were indeed only three of them. As for their strength... I'm not very clear."
"One of them said, 'Don't ever provoke us, or you'll definitely regret it.'"
"Tell me honestly, why did they attack you?" The Great General thought for a moment and pressed again.
Such powerful individuals, would they bother attacking a squad? Obviously, they weren't that bored.
